In the general sense, I don't program anymore. I work around programming (both by breaking other people's programs and reviewing source code), but I'd say the past 12 years or so the only programming I've done is limited to small scripts written to make a specific job easier. I'd love to say that the reason I haven't been programming is due to my company's policy strict intellectual property agreement (wherein I'm forbidden from working on open source projects, or publishing any code); but I stopped coding before that was even an issue. The past few months I've rekindled some of my interest, I have some things I'd like to work on, and I've rediscovered an interest in math that has lead me to start to fill in some of the gaps of my experience. I'm hoping that interest doesn't fizzle out (as it usually does), and I actually make some headway on some of my projects. In some ways I feel like we're in a golden age of programming; if nothing else I'm more excited about the state of things then I've been anytime in the past fifteen years.
